YouTrack Two-Way Integration

PractiTest and YouTrack Two-Way Integration – Intro

The integration between PractiTest and YouTrack helps you share the information between the 2 systems by allowing you to import and link Issues from YouTrack as Issues in PractiTest. Testers can also use this integration in order to report bugs directly into YouTrack from within a PractiTest Test Run.

After the YouTrack integration is configured by your account manager, each issue from YouTrack can be imported to PractiTest.

The Issues imported into PractiTest will automatically be linked back to the original issue in YouTrack. Any updates made to an issue in YouTrack will be synchronized and updated in PractiTest, and vise versa. The same is applied to requirements that can be imported into PractiTest from YouTrack.

4. Press: “Update and Get Projects” – this action will also be creating a new workflow in your YouTrack account, which enables this integration to work. Then you need to go to YouTrack - Settings - Workflows - Update Practitest - add relevant projects.

PractiTest Project settings:

Now that you have created integration between your PractiTest and YouTrack accounts, you can move on to defining the integration for individual project setting.

7. Choose the default project that will be shown when a user starts reporting or synchronizing the Issues. You will be able to choose any other project as well if you wish to do so later in the process.

8. Press: “Update Issue integration”
